What You Need to Know Before You Start

A strata corporation is a legal entity, and is a form of property ownership. Many condominiums and townhomes are strata properties. Strata corporations are regulated under the Strata Property Act. They must have an elected strata council, which runs the the strata corporation. Since a strata corporation is a legal entity, it can enter into contracts and hire employees, and can sue or be sued.

If you have a legal claim that can go to a court or a tribunal, the case almost always has to be started within a set period of time. After this time runs out, a court or tribunal can refuse your claim, no matter how strong your case would have been.

The time limit is called a “limitation period.” It’s like a countdown, and you have to start your case with the Civil Resolution Tribunal or a court before it runs out.

If you can’t pay the fees and want to ask for a waiver, you need information that shows you have a low income. This includes details about your household income and the value of any real estate you own.
